[Someday, perhaps you'll work your way up to spamming threads with something that's actually relevant to the topic.]

Evasion... adress the peer reviewed facts next time.

I'm not evading anything. I'm just pointing out that you flung a non sequitur into the thread. If you feel this random piece of data bears on the current discussion, you've failed to bother to state how and why you think that. I can hardly "evade" your point when you haven't made one.

I can "address the facts" by pointing out that this does nothing to undermine evolutionary biology, or bolster "intelligent design", if that was what you were so poorly attempting to imply. Here, read this.

At very most, all it establishes is that under rare, special conditions (they're obvious rare and special, or else this wouldn't be such an unusual find and *most* fossils would be in this condition -- but they're not), there can be an excellent state of fine-grained preservation for some ancient fossils. Yeah, so? Did you have some point to make beyond that?

"I'm not evading anything."

You are correct. I asked no questions and made no comments, therefore, you could not be evading. My apologies.

"I'm just pointing out that you flung a non sequitur into the thread."

Incorrect. According to the article, [Its new “Gateway to Science” curriculum asks pupils to examine how organisms become fossilised.]

"If you feel this random piece of data bears on the current discussion, you've failed to bother to state how and why you think that."

Correct. I hope I have corrected that above.

"I can hardly "evade" your point when you haven't made one."

Correct. See my correction and apology above.

Regards,
DocRock
